Package patches

Each package follows the GnuTLS layout:

  • default.nix applies the patch through the package overlay.
  • A descriptive .patch file contains the standalone upstream source change.
  • README.md explains the problem, scope, reproduction, upstream status, Nix integration, and recorded validation limits.
  • Companion verify-* tools live beside the patch when needed; otherwise the README gives commands for the package's existing tests.

Keep package-specific evidence in its directory. Patch headers explain the change independently of Nix, and default.nix preserves existing patches.

Package Repair
Abseil Public BMI2 header in Electron, Deno, and Signal's vendored copies
Backrefs Match the regex timeout's CPU clock
GnuTLS Wait for the UDP server socket before connecting
Jupyter Server Exercise the correct shared future during reconnect
Prometheus Complete parsing before inspecting the test editor state
pytest-xdist Check worker replacements and allow startup on loaded builders
SciPy Account for floating-point rounding in STFT tests
Sentry SDK Isolate SDK thread mocks from Python's threading module
Torchaudio Compare pitch-shift batches at appropriate precision
TorchCodec Match the reference MP3 encoder's sample format

Local NixOS integration

../default.nix imports this directory's default.nix, which wires each package's override into the package set. Abseil repairs several vendored copies and is gated on x86-64-v3; Prometheus patches its separate assets derivation; Python packages use pythonPackagesExtensions.

The pytest-xdist directory also owns its outer-worker limit and remote-worker event timeout. These package overrides add no skipped tests. Existing nixpkgs exclusions remain separate from these repairs.

The test-exclusion review used Python 3.14.7 and the pinned x86-64-v3 package set. Host-flake evaluation verified patch wiring, Python install checks, removal of the local skips, and Prometheus's reference to the patched assets. Jupyter and Sentry package tests used the preceding dependency set with the new package patch to avoid unrelated rebuilds after pytest-xdist changed. No complete NixOS rebuild was performed. Individual READMEs distinguish package builds, focused tests, and checks that have not been run.
